Having ledger lines thicker than staff lines is the default. You can 
change the thickness with a override in the \layout block inside the 
\score block. e.g. this gives ledger lines almost exactly the same 
thickness as the default for staff lines:

        \layout {
            \context {
                \Staff
                    \override StaffSymbol #'ledger-line-thickness = 
#'(0.1 . 0.1)
            }
        }

See appendix A of the NR for details on the values.
